Since the ban on ‘no fault’ evictions was first promised in 2019, over 100,000 private tenants have had their lives torn up by a Section 21 eviction. Renters need to know when the ban will actually come into force. It can't come soon enough. www.crisis.org.uk/media/tn1i1h... @crisis-uk.bsky.social

Our Head of Campaigns, @nyejones92.bsky.social, gave evidence to Parliament about the shocking costs of renting. Read more about what else was said: www.insidehousing.co.uk/home/afforda...

Reports suggest the Chancellor is considering deep cuts to the UK’s energy-efficiency programmes to fund short-term bill reductions. That would mean cutting up to 40% from Britain’s insulation and retrofit budget, dismantling the very programmes that actually bring bills down for good. [1/3]

Spring cleaning the office and so pleased to be able to throw out a no longer relevant banner… once it comes into force in the coming months, notice periods will double under the Renters’ Rights Act if a landlord evicts to sell their home or move themselves or a family member in!

Our Head of Campaigns, @nyejones92.bsky.social, spoke to Parliament about the damp and mould renters are forced to live in, despite paying skyrocketing rents for their homes. Watch 👇

REMINDER: Check your local council website to see if your landlord needs a licence, and has got one. If they haven’t you could claim back up to 12 MONTHS of rent and be PROTECTED from a Section 21 Eviction!

Selective licensing is used by councils to improve housing standards for renters. When someone as senior as the Chancellor fails to comply, in undermines the entire system. Leadership means setting an example. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"A home should be where life happens, not where fear lives." Read my article for @generationrent.bsky.social in @thetimes.com on why the Renters’ Rights Act is a giant step forward 👇 www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

“A home should be where life happens, not where fear lives.” Our Chief Executive, @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social, wrote an op ed in @thetimes.com about the Renters’ Rights Bill becoming an Act Read here: www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

The Renters’ Rights Bill has now become an Act. This means unfair Section 21 evictions will be abolished soon. Our Chief Executive, @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social , explained the impact of S21 to @bbc5live.bsky.social 👇

💫The Renters' Rights Act 2025💫

I'm on holiday but so good to see this is finally The Law. For too long landlords have had too much power over tenants, leading to poor quality accommodation, excessive rent increases and undue stress every time your tenancy comes up for renewal. These reforms are a huge step forward for renters

Homes are the foundations of our lives. Evictions shatter those foundations. Last night the Renters' Rights Act became law, paving the way for the end of S21 evictions. The Government must bring in the changes ASAP to prevent more renters like Christina experiencing this turmoil.

We did it! More than a decade of campaigning led to this moment. The most heartfelt thank you to every supporter, employee, volunteer, funder and ally of @generationrent.bsky.social. It certainly hasn’t been easy, but together we’ve secured the biggest reforms to private renting in a generation!

The Renters’ Rights Act is NOW LAW! Soon S21 evictions, which have forced millions of people out of their homes for no reason & with just 2 months notice, will be a thing of the past. This is what our movement can achieve when we stand together.

Our Deputy Chief Executive, @danwilsoncraw.bsky.social, has worked to end Section 21, no fault evictions for over a decade. Now unfair evictions are being abolished, you can read his reflections in his @BigIssue op ed below. 👇 www.bigissue.com/opinion/rent...

UPDATE: We did it! The Renters’ Rights Bill has now PASSED through the House of Commons! We expect it to reach Royal Assent shortly. This is a huge win after years of campaigning by renters. There's more to do, but this is worth celebrating!

Thank you to @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social for meeting with us today. Along with @generationrent.bsky.social, we discussed the end of Section 21 evictions and the pathway to securing decent standards for rented homes. 🏡

"Some of the places aren't fit for dogs". Anyone can be affected by the renting crisis, but migrant communities struggle against the worst conditions in the UK. We met with newcomers to Lewisham to find out more about their experiences. Read more 👇 www.generationrent.org/2025/09/30/s...

“We need breathing space now” New towns open up more affordable homes for the people that need it most, but renters need short term help NOW. Limiting rent rises is the only way to do so. Our Chief Exec @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social explained more to BBC Radio London ⬇️

Our Deputy CEO @danwilsoncraw.bsky.social set out the case for limits on rent hikes at @rentersreformco.bsky.social's Labour Conference event. They would: ➡️ Reduce homelessness ➡️ Boost local economies ➡️ Allow renters to save ➡️ Incentivise renters to apply for energy efficiency improvements

Yesterday, MSPs voted to deny new eviction protections for renters. @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social labelled the decision a "major backwards step", with Scottish renters soon to have the worst eviction notice periods in Britain if the gov doesn't change course. www.generationrent.org/2025/09/25/m...

“Rents are just increasing on a whim just based on what a landlord thinks” Our Communications Officer, Bismah Naqui, spoke to @bbc5live.bsky.social this morning about how more and more young people are choosing to live with their parents rather than rent. Watch here ⬇️

NEW: Rent Prices, August The average private rent in Great Britain was £1,360 per month in August, up 5.7% in the past year Campaign group @generationrent.bsky.social warned "rents continue to rise faster than our wages", and urged the Government to act on rent increases 🔗: app.radarai.com

"Private landlord incentives are akin to pouring water into a leaking bucket: the harder they try to fill it, the faster it drains, with our public money lining landlords’ pockets" Our Head of Campaigns @nyejones92.bsky.social writing in @insidehousing ⬇️ www.insidehousing.co.uk/comment/coun...

Our Chief Exec @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social & Head of Campaigns @nyejones92.bsky.social were pleased to meet with @tomcopley.bsky.social today in City Hall. On the agenda was: ➡️ Soaring rents in London ➡️ Renters' rights awareness ➡️ Better regulation of short-term lets ➡️ The Devolution Bill

Labour Lord & donor Lord Alli evicted his tenants before hiking the rent by >£1k‼️ It's outrageous that a politician so close to government treats their tenants this way. We need the gov to outlaw Section 21 as soon as possible. inews.co.uk/news/labour-...

Encouraging to hear Sadiq Khan say the power to cap rents is 'top of his list' in new powers he wants, following a q from @zoegarbett.bsky.social. The Devolution Bill is a major opportunity to allow Mayors to slam the brakes on soaring rents. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOmE... (from 1:34:45)

Pets are part of the family, but too many renters are denied this joy. The Renters' Rights Bill will give renters the right to have a pet. The Government must look to carry out the legislation ASAP so renters can benefit from their new rights. Watch @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social explain 👇

New stats are constantly telling us that rents are SOARING past our wages. Recent RightMove stats found that average rent costs are now unaffordable. Watch our Head of Campaigns, @nyejones92.bsky.social, on LBC News explain what needs to happen next 👇

Well well well...Another good article @generationrent.bsky.social 👏 This is what happens when properties are seen as investments and bought up as PRS + underfunded LAs + a huge loss of social housing. A sad reminder that this housing crisis is profitable for some.

Our latest research has found that local councils are sending TENS OF MILLIONS a year to private landlords to encourage them to house those experiencing homelessness. Read coverage of what we found in The Guardian: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

www.generationrent.org/2025/08/11/w...

The cost of renting in London is SKYROCKETING. The city’s key workers are being driven out. We need the government to stop runaway rents in their tracks to give tenants the breathing space we need. @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social, explains more to BBC Radio👇
